I did some testing.
Looks like IW cut the gold producing value of administration to 50% of the admin value.
I.E.
Watch Tower [admin 10] gets you 5% extra gold
Wizards Tower [admin 30] gets you 15% extra gold
Fortified City [admin 50] gets you 25% extra gold
Frankly with the weaker economy it was already hard to afford extra forts. Now that it takes forever to pay them off... they are even less usefull. I am very unhappy with the economics of Dom II.
Time for a fort to pay for itself using even scales when placed on a 20K population province:
Watch Tower = 60 turns
Dark Citadel = 60 turns
Wizards Tower = 20 turns
Citadel = 30 Turns
Fortified City = 30 turns
